But not because he was a poor sport, but because he had go get a hold of himself. He was overcome with emotion and needed a moment of peace, where he could cry without being under the scrutiny of the media. Can't hate on that... I doubt anyone would call Dirk a disrespectful person.

I have to give it to the Mavs they showed they were the better team, they were resilient and more determined, they really wanted to win.

Dirk finally achieving the ultimate goal and totally deserved, it was a long time coming. One of the things that really stuck with me was that during an interview, he said that winning a championship was all he cared about and was all he wanted, that if he didn't win a championship it will forever haunt him for the rest of his life. But he can put that all away now and just enjoy the moment.

And I can't forget about Jason Kidd, has played for 17 seasons falling short of a championship twice and at the age of 38 still playing at a high level, who can now rest easy having finally won a championship.
